[or, "curiosity killed the cat" ;-)] Today I updated a package of mine (rc) that was failing to build on PPC. after I built a copy on my own machine, I used voltaire to check that the fix did in fact work. Since I had .debs for two architectures, I figured I would upload both of them.
However, I soon discovered that gzip apparenly creates different compressed files for the same input on i386 and ppc. Thus, the diff.gz md5sums didn't match and uploading the ppc-built version would cause the i386 one to fail dinstall -n and vice versa. My question is, how do people handle this? If I should just chill out and wait for the autobuilders to do their work (probably a "yes", that's what I'm doing today), what exactly goes on behind the scenes when a diff.gz with a new md5sum goes into Incoming? does it just replace mine? -- things change.
